Rush's classic Permanent Waves album remastered by those craftsmen at Mobile Fidelity. This is a gorgeous sounding disc and a brilliant album to boot.

Sticklers for precision and perfection, the group demanded nothing less than the best from itself and production team. There’s no better place to experience it than on Mobile Fidelity’s astounding remaster. Sourced from the original analog tapes, this exposes you to just how much detail and information you’ve been missing out on hearing. And Neil Peart fans, listen up. The full dynamic range of the drummer’s percussive spectrum is now completely exposed for the first time on record.

“Superb separation, a wide soundstage, and life-size images abound. Evidenced by the flexibility and presence of Geddy Lee’s stair-step bass lines, the midrange and low-end seem completely restored. Rush’s firm rhythms and chorus-pedal effects are also brought to fore. But the main attraction is how realistic, lively, and dynamic Neil Peart’s virtuosic drumming now sounds. Ranging from the familiar tom, snare, and cymbal roll during “The Spirit of Radio” to the closing timbale work on “Natural Science,” Peart’s percussion takes on even greater lore--if that's at all possible.” --Bob Gendron, The Absolute Sound, March 2008
